Immigrants have founded or cofounded 59% of America’s privately held startup companies valued at $1 billion or more. The collective value of the 455 immigrant-founded billion-dollar companies is $5.0 trillion. @David_J_Bier @gsiskind @nickgillespie forbes.com/sites/stuartander…

Arnold @Schwarzenegger came to the U.S. from Austria in 1968 as a champion bodybuilder and went on to build a billion-dollar legacy as a real estate mogul, movie star and two-term California governor. He’s now on the #Forbes250 America’s Most Successful Living Immigrants list. See who else made the list: forbes.com/sites/alexknapp/2… 📸: Austin Hargrave/August

Suspending Fable for all “foreign person inside the US” is wild. How can you even enforce this properly?

FBI shows up to interrogate a U.S. citizen at his house—for writing an anti-ICE social media post. "This is about comments that you posted online," said agent. Orders homeowner to stop recording—refuses to even tell him which comments. Agent wearing unique World Cup uniform to indicate he is currently assigned to work with ICE on immigration issues. Craig Brittain has been actively documenting and participating in protests at the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey. His social media posts videos of demonstrations, conflicts with agents, and calls for the facility’s closure.

Immigration sometimes needs brakes, but the proposal would be like driving into a wall economist.com/leaders/2026/0…

Russia is pleased.

Incredible. Publishing what appears to be (if you care to read the "evidence") a totally legitimate US program, and even citing the risks of these being used as "Russian information campaigns", Tulsi Gabbard - the gift that kept giving - presents the Kremlin with yet one more information operation. Read our investigation from 2025 where we presented evidence that the hybrid ops unit of GRU's 29155 came up with the whole "bio-labs" concept - and co-opted Tulsi into it. theins.press/en/inv/281731

Big @nytimes story on the massive explosion of 287(g) agreements. Our data shows we’re approaching a 1500% increase in the roaming, at large Task Force model since Jan 2025. A signature way the reconciliation fueling a massive expansion of enforcement:

Hope it’s clear @USCISJoe!

When Alexis de Tocqueville visited America in 1831 he saw a new kind of society. Not just a country, but an idea that would change the world. Our podcast series “Tocqueville Road Trip” retraces his steps. Listen now economist.com/audio/podcasts…

Our modelling reveals how Ukraine’s attacks on ports and refineries are depriving Russia of billions of dollars in revenue. Can it keep up the tempo? economist.com/interactive/eu…

Elvira Nabiullina reportedly told Putin she'll serve out her term, but only if he doesn't close the borders or declare martial law. Anonymous sources say she "diplomatically called in sick" & is waiting for the president's answer. She hasn't appeared publicly in over a week. ↓

Ukraine has just struck a Russian defence plant with its new long-range FP-5 missiles and damaged a key bridge to Crimea. Things keep getting worse for Putin and Gerasimov. My Part 2 assessment of Russia's losing war, and how Putin might reverse things. 1/5 🧵

Trump officials are correct that more doctors would improve patient care and help tame healthcare costs. However, the Trump admin has enacted several restrictive immigration policies that have blocked physicians from America. @David_J_Bier @gsiskind forbes.com/sites/stuartander…

New research from the @NFAPResearch found that 59% of America's privately held billion-dollar startups have at least one immigrant founder, with a collective value of $5 trillion. We’re one of them—all 3 of our founders are immigrants. Our CEO, @goldstein2002 , is one of the founders @Forbes highlighted in their coverage of this research. He came to the U.S. in 1988 as an 8-year-old refugee from Uzbekistan when his family fled state-level anti-Semitism, and didn't speak English when he arrived. Al went on to co-found Avant in 2012 alongside CIO Paul Zhang and John Sun, both of whom also came to the U.S. as children from China. The study examined 775 unicorn companies and found that nearly 80% have an immigrant founder or an immigrant in a key leadership role. Immigrant-founded companies in this group have created an average of 833 jobs per company. We’re proud that Avant is a part of that $5 trillion figure. forbes.com/sites/stuartander…

Ukraine's Fire Point company is racing to build a cheaper alternative to Patriot missiles for air defense against Russia's ballistic missiles. First tests have been "pretty sucessful." European and Ukrainian officials say it has had discussions with Germany’s Hensoldt and Thales for radar, Italy’s Leonardo for tracking and target acquisition radar, and Norway’s Kongsberg for command and control technology. w/ @charles_clover @fabrice_deprez @FT ft.com/content/c5839dd4-c4e9…
